EDM for Large Molds

Sodick, Inc. announces its VL600HQ wire EDM. With a 500-mm Z-axis stroke, the new high-column model is designed to accommodate a wider variety of large workpieces, making it ideal for large molds as well as automotive and aerospace applications. It offers an improvement to the company’s SuperJet Automatic Wire Threader —the Pop-Up search function. It also improves the success of multi-hole and curved-surface threading, and its three-pass, fine-finish technology is an improvement over the previous generation of VZ series machines.
